Erie police are searching for a man accused of assault and tossing a Molotov cocktail into a home.

Police are searching for Kersey Miller, 29, on a warrant for attempted murder, arson and third-degree assault, according to a release.

According to the release, Miller is accused of damaging a vehicle in the Erie Highlands area with a high-powered pellet or BB gun on May 15.

Police said Miller then assaulted another man near the Erie Post Office, 150 Wells St., on Saturday. That same man then told police he woke up to a loud bang and a fire caused by a Molotov cocktail being thrown at his home in Old Town.

Miller fled in a stolen vehicle, which was recovered Tuesday in Lafayette.

Miller is described as being 6-feet 1-inch tall with brown eyes and brown hair. Police have been in contact with Miller, and believe he is armed and dangerous.

Anyone who has any information on him is asked to call 303-441-4444, but should not approach Miller if he is spotted.
